Woman's Hour has invented a chore calculator to for you to work out who does the majority of the chores in your home and who gets the most free time. Across the week we are looking at the division of labour in the home. Mumsnet join Jane to discuss why it matters to their users who does what at home. Â鶹ԼÅÄ reporter Geoff Bird and his wife Sarah provide a frank look at who does what in their home. Professor Jonathan Gershuny, co-director of the Centre for Time Use Research at the University of Oxford provides the historical context of the chore debate and journalist Tim Dowling and his wife Sophie de Brandt enter their details into the chore calculator to find out how equal the running of their house is.
Over the last few weeks Woman's Hour has been speaking to women who go the different party conferences - why do they do it, what do they get out of it and what difference does it make? On Monday we are at The Liberal Democrats conference in Glasgow. We hear about their record in the coalition government and what they're planning to offer women voters when they go to the polls next May. We talk to some of the young women who are active members of the Liberal Democrats about why they joined, how they're trying to engage female voters and why it matters to them - especially when so many young women don't vote.
